Parks in Honolulu

Diamond Head State Monument oversees a volcano and the mighty ocean of the capital. Formerly a fort, this park in Honolulu is now actually a hike where one has to climb many rocky - pebbly steps. Recommended only for people with good stamina as one has approximately 150 steps to conquer! However, the view from above is a reward big enough to motivate someone to make his way to the top. After de-escalating, do stop at the food truck for fruity thirst quenchers and fancy smoothie bowls made with pineapple. Thank us later for this suggestion!
